Although we probe for the IPA limits imposed by KVM (and the hardware)
when computing the memory map, we still use the old style '0' when
creating a scratch VM in kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu().
On systems that are severely IPA challenged (such as the Apple M1),
this results in a failure as KVM cannot use the default 40bit that
'0' represents.
Instead, probe for the extension and use the reported IPA limit
if available.
